The Atlantic|January - February 2024
Strange as this might be to say of the only American president found legally liable for sexual abuse, the only leader of the free world accused of dangling a TV gig in front of a porn performer seemingly as an enticement for sex, the only commander in chief to publicly denigrate the sexual attractiveness of both Heidi Klum ("no longer a 10") and Angelina Jolie ("not a great beauty"), I don't believe Donald Trump hates women. Not by default, anyway. "When it comes to the women who are not only dutifully but lovingly catering to his desires," the philosopher Kate Manne wrote in her 2017 book, Down Girl, "what's to hate?"
